BROMSGROVE Sport and Leisure Centre is to reopen on April 12 after closing its doors for three months due to the COVID pandemic.
The leisure centre, which is managed by sports and leisure operator Everyone Active and in partnership with Bromsgrove District Council, will be offering a variety of activities in line with government guidelines.
The gym, swimming pool, climbing wall and spa treatments will be open for use from April 12 with the remaining facilities including the café for indoor dining, sauna, steam room and group exercise studio to follow from May 17.
Lloyd Barraclough, Everyone Active’s contract manager, said: “We’re very much looking forward to reopening our centre and welcoming back the local community.
“After being closed for three months, the latest step in the Government’s Roadmap is a positive move forward for the leisure industry and gives people of all ages the opportunity to resume activity and exercise in their leisure centre.
“Ensuring our colleagues and customers remain safe continues to be our number one priority and we have carefully considered the strict measurements to ensure we adhere to the guidance.
“We will be contacting all customers directly over the coming days regarding the centres reopening. We look forward to welcoming everyone back and thank them for their patience.”
Whilst its leisure centres have been closed, Everyone Active has provided online workouts and streamed live classes across its social media pages.
Head of leisure services at Bromsgrove District Council, Ruth Bamford, said: “This is great news as, from personal experience, I know people have missed having lots of different exercise options to choose from, even though online opportunities were still available.
“We need to keep in line with Government guidance so we can continue to offer our services so we urge our customers to work together to ensure that everyone can get active, safely.”
